Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Victorian games and work table is a dual-purpose piece of occasional furniture crafted during the nineteenth century, designed to accommodate social board games as well as storage for needlework and embroidery materials.

These tables were typically constructed using fine hardwoods such as walnut, mahogany, or rosewood, frequently enhanced with burr veneers, brass hardware, and silk or pleated fabric lining for the lower sewing well.

Authentic pieces generally display distinct grain patterns of burr walnut veneer, hand-carved pedestal supports, hand-dovetailed drawer joints, original brass castors, and a pleated fabric or wooden drop-down basket.

A Victorian work table functions well as a decorative side table or accent piece in living rooms, hall spaces, or bay windows, serving as a functional storage table or compact desk.

Burr walnut veneers should be kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent drying and cracking. Regular dusting with a soft cloth and periodic application of high-grade beeswax protects the timber finish.
